Spinal Injuries
Manassas Woodbridge Spine Injury Lawyers

When the spine is damaged these signals can no longer travel which results in paralysis. Spinal cord injuries are permanent, which is why they are classified as “catastrophic injuries.” They completely alter the lives of the injured and their loved ones.
Since 1984, our lawyers have helped people with spine injuries fight for the resources they needed to move forward. Our firm utilizes more than 100 years of combined experience for our clients, giving them what they need to recover from their injuries as much as possible.
